At around nine o'clock in the evening on October 31, a dance was being held in the French Governor's Palace in Hanoi. The hall of the Governor's Palace was bright and feasting. Big figures active in Hanoi's political and economic circles were wandering on the dance floor with their beautiful female companions. The dance music took a break. At that time, the big shots gathered together in small groups holding half-filled goblets of red wine, chatting in low voices.
As the governor of the French Indochina Federal Government House, Raffarin was unsurprisingly the protagonist of this kind of gathering. After he performed the opening dance, he was surrounded by big shots. The Japanese first occupied the Dutch East Indies. Immediately afterwards, it advanced towards the British East Indies. If nothing unexpected happens, Malaysia will soon fall into the hands of the Japanese. How will French Indochina deal with it? There are new gossips coming out every day. The day before yesterday China, Britain and France formed a military alliance, but yesterday it was Japan and France who reached a consensus. The big shots were troubled by numerous gossips and urgently needed to get real information to decide whether to go or stay, or whether to get on the line with the Japanese government. They took it for granted. Raffarin must know the truth, so he decided to take this opportunity to consult.
Raffarin enjoyed the feeling of being the center of the public. He leisurely held a wine glass in his left hand and a cigar in his right hand. He answered everyone's questions in a gentlemanly manner, "It's nothing, don't worry, everyone, French India." The Federation of China will always be the most ideal investment place, it was before, it is now, and it will always be..." He was talking eloquently. Suddenly, someone on the second floor shouted: "Long live Vietnam's independence." Everyone was shocked and looked up. , just when I saw leaflets falling from the sky like snowflakes,
"Guards, guards, arrest him quickly." A Frenchman in charge of security shouted,
Just at this time, the dance music started playing again. However, people looked up and looked at the thin figure who continued to throw flyers down. No one was in the mood to continue dancing.
"Bang." The door opened, and a group of French soldiers with live ammunition broke in. They rushed towards the stairs.
The waiter dressed as Feng Hai appeared at this moment. He walked straight towards Raffarin. When he was still five meters away, he suddenly pulled out a pistol from under the tray and shouted: "Long live Vietnam's independence." He raised his hand. The gun pulled the trigger towards Raflan,
"Bah, bah, bah," three gunshots rang out in succession, and the hall was filled with screams. Many people squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and some rushed toward the door of the hall. Raffarin was shot three times in the chest. He only had time to let out a scream before he fell to the ground.
When someone saw this scene, they immediately shouted: "Protect the Governor." "Your Majesty the Governor."
Someone else shouted: "Guards, hurry up, catch the assassin." The group of French soldiers turned around and rushed towards Feng Hai. Feng Hai turned his gun and fired at them, shooting down a French soldier and himself being shot twice. , shouted "Long live Vietnam's independence" and fell to the ground,
Two minutes later, the soldiers cautiously approached Feng Hai. An officer bent down and felt his breath, then touched his carotid artery and said, "He's dead."
The doctor from the Governor's Palace hurried to the hall with a nurse. He was much more professional than the officer. He took a flashlight, opened Raffarin's eyelids and looked at it. He stood up and shrugged: "It's a pity. , the Governor’s heart has stopped.”
When the governor's wife on the side heard this, she screamed and fell into the arms of her female companion.
A quarter of an hour later, a curfew was implemented in Hanoi. French military police and detectives from the patrol room were dispatched one after another to search for the rebel who distributed the leaflets. Half an hour later, Ambos arrived at the scene with hundreds of soldiers. An hour and a half later , In the living room of the Governor's Palace, seven French people started a fierce debate around the assassination of Raffarin.
Headed by Major General Angpos, the three people in the military had a unified view. They believed that the reason why this tragedy occurred was the Japanese. The Japanese instigated the locals in Dutch Indochina to form independent armed forces and allowed the locals in Vietnam to fight for independence. Seeing hope, among them, Ivan, the commander of the 2nd Division of the Federal Army stationed in Hanoi, even believed that the local independent armed forces had already established a line with the Japanese, and even the assassination incident was simply ordered by the Japanese.
Several civil servants, headed by Roland, the financial officer of the Governor's Palace, believed that since the Governor's Palace and the Japanese Minister had just reached a tacit understanding on the relationship between France and Japan, there was no need for the Japanese to do anything extra, so this was just a simple assassination incident caused by local people. , believes that what the military should do now is to eliminate local independent armed organizations, rather than taking the opportunity to cause trouble and quarrel with the Japanese.
The positions of both sides were completely different, and no one could convince the other, and they eventually broke up.
The next day, both parties convened dignitaries from the colonial government to discuss the candidate for the successor governor at the Governor's Mansion. The military recommended Ang Bos, but the political circles elected Roland. The meeting lasted all morning, and neither party was willing to compromise, so they discussed a secret ballot in the afternoon to make the final decision. The decision was made, and during the rest period, a riot broke out in the city of Di Shi in western Vietnam. The local office of the Governor-General was attacked by independent armed forces. The head of the local military was killed. The local garrison suffered more than 30 casualties. Escaped from Dishi without human beings,
When the news reached Hanoi, the afternoon meeting had just begun. All the participants were in an uproar. Yi Wen stood up and shouted: "Gentlemen, have you heard that our soldiers are being slaughtered by yellow-skinned monkeys? What are you still hesitating about? Do you still naively think that the Japanese will be lenient to us? Or are you ready to surrender to the Japanese like the shit in the country? Gentlemen, we don’t have time. There is a lot of delay here, we must take action immediately, otherwise, you and I will die without a burial place."
The whole place was silent. A few minutes later, under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, Roland raised his hand and said: "I agree with General Angpos to take over the post of governor, but I have a condition. I must participate in negotiations with the Chinese."
Roland was the head of the civil service. With his statement, the deadlock was immediately broken. Ang Bos successfully took over the post of governor. After taking over the governor's seal, the first order he issued was to open the Sino-Vietnamese border so that The Xuebing Army entered Vietnam,
At Chongzuo Liuqiao Military Camp, Ouyang Yun, Chu Tiange, Guo Da, Yang Chuntai, Song Yi and others were doing tactical deductions around a sand table. Pan Meiren suddenly opened the door and walked in. Standing at the door, she said loudly: " Commander-in-Chief, there is a call from the French Governor-General, and the new Governor-General Major General Ampos has asked our troops to leave for Hanoi immediately."
Ouyang Yun threw down his baton and stood up, and said to everyone: "We can finally start." Then he said to Song Yi: "Old Song, there is no extra time for you. Now we can only do adaptive training while marching."
Song Yi said: "No problem, I guarantee that the brothers will be able to pull it out before the war begins."
Ouyang Yun waved to everyone and said: "Go back and prepare. We will set off in an hour. We must arrive at the border before eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Then he said to Yang Chuntai: "Old Yang, I will leave this place to you. Already."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured, we will protect the expeditionary aviation group."
